Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization and Operations NuStar Energy L.P. (NuStar Energy) (NYSE: NS) is a publicly held Delaware limited partnership engaged in the transportation of petroleum products and anhydrous ammonia, the terminalling and storage of petroleum products and the marketing of petroleum products. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “NuStar Energy,” “the Partnership,” “we,” “our” and “us” are used in this report to refer to NuStar Energy L.P., to one or more of our consolidated subsidiaries or to all of them taken as a whole. NuStar GP Holdings, LLC (NuStar GP Holdings) (NYSE: NSH) owns our general partner, Riverwalk Logistics, L.P., and owns a 15.0% total interest in us as of September 30, 2015 . We conduct our operations through our subsidiaries, primarily NuStar Logistics, L.P. (NuStar Logistics) and NuStar Pipeline Operating Partnership L.P. (NuPOP). We have three business segments: pipeline, storage and fuels marketing. Basis of Presentation These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and subsidiaries in which the Partnership has a controlling interest. Noncontrolling interests are separately disclosed on the financial statements. Inter-partnership balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We account for investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all disclosures are adequate. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 included in these Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 . The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . New Accounting Pronouncements In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance for business combinations that eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The changes are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. We will adopt these provisions January 1, 2016 , and we do not expect the amended guidance to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance that requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The changes are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We will adopt these provisions January 1, 2017, and we do not expect the amended guidance to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance for the presentation of debt issuance costs. Under the amended guidance, debt issuance costs will be presented on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance that would allow debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit agreements to continue to be presented as an asset on the balance sheet. The changes are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and retrospective application is required. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt these provisions January 1, 2016, and we do not expect the amended guidance to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In February 2015, the FASB issued new consolidation guidance that modifies the criterion involved in a reporting organization’s evaluation of whether certain legal entities are subject to consolidation under the standard. The standard is effective for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, using one of two retrospective transition methods. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt these provisions January 1, 2016, and we do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year. The standard is now effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, using one of two retrospective transition methods. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date. We are currently assessing the impact of this new guidance on our financial statements and disclosures, and we have not yet selected a transition method. |

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS | ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS Acquisitions Linden Acquisition. On January 2, 2015, we acquired full ownership of ST Linden Terminal, LLC (Linden), which owns a refined products terminal in Linden, NJ with 4.3 million barrels of storage capacity (the Linden Acquisition). Linden is located on a 44-acre facility that provides deep-water terminalling capabilities in the New York Harbor and primarily stores petroleum products, including gasoline, jet fuel and fuel oils. Prior to the Linden Acquisition, Linden operated as a joint venture between us and Linden Holding Corp, with each party owning 50% . In connection with the Linden Acquisition, we ceased applying the equity method of accounting and consolidated Linden, which is included in our storage segment. The condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income include the results of operations for Linden commencing on January 2, 2015. On the acquisition date, we remeasured our existing 50% equity investment in Linden to its fair value of $128.0 million and we recognized a gain of $56.3 million in “Other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . We estimated the fair value using a market approach, which estimates the enterprise value based on an earnings multiple. We funded the acquisition with borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. The acquisition complements our existing storage operations, and having sole ownership of Linden strengthens our presence in the New York Harbor and the East Coast market. We accounted for the Linden Acquisition using the acquisition method. The purchase price has been allocated based on the estimated fair values of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation was as follows (in thousands of dollars): Cash paid for the Linden Acquisition $ 142,500 Fair value of liabilities assumed 22,865 Consideration 165,365 Acquisition date fair value of previously held equity interest 128,000 Total $ 293,365 Current assets $ 1,746 Property, plant and equipment 134,484 Goodwill 86,975 Intangible assets (a) 70,050 Other long-term assets 110 Purchase price allocation $ 293,365 (a) Intangible assets primarily consist of customer contracts and relationships and are being amortized over 10 years . Dispositions Discontinued Operations. In January 2015, we sold our terminal in Alamogordo, NM with storage capacity of 0.1 million barrels for proceeds of $1.1 million . We classified the associated property, plant and equipment as “Assets held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In 2014, we divested our terminals in Mobile, AL, Wilmington, NC and Dumfries, VA and our 75% interest in our facility in Mersin, Turkey (the Turkey Sale). We recognized a gain of $3.7 million on the Turkey Sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. We presented the results of operations for those facilities as discontinued operations. We allocated interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively, to discontinued operations based on the ratio of net assets discontinued to consolidated net assets. The following table summarizes the results from discontinued operations: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 (Thousands of Dollars) Revenues $ — $ 276 $ 208 $ 3,456 Income (loss) before income tax expense $ — $ 2,831 $ 774 $ (2,316 ) 2014 Asphalt Sale. On February 26, 2014, we sold our remaining 50% ownership interest in NuStar Asphalt LLC to Lindsay Goldberg LLC (Lindsay Goldberg), a private investment firm (the 2014 Asphalt Sale). Effective February 27, 2014, NuStar Asphalt LLC changed its name to Axeon Specialty Products LLC (Axeon). Lindsay Goldberg now owns 100% of Axeon. As a result of the 2014 Asphalt Sale, we ceased applying the equity method of accounting. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DEBT | DEBT Revolving Credit Agreement During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the balance under our $1.5 billion five -year revolving credit agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement) increased by $306.6 million , which we used for general partnership purposes and to fund a portion of strategic capital expenditures, including the Linden Acquisition. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on October 29, 2019 and bears interest, at our option, based on an alternative base rate, a LIBOR-based rate or a EURIBOR-based rate. The interest rate on the Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to adjustment if our debt rating is downgraded (or upgraded) by certain credit rating agencies. As of September 30, 2015 , our weighted-average interest rate was 2.0% and we had $908.1 million outstanding. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, such as limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, asset transfers and certain investing activities. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement requires us to maintain, as of the end of each rolling period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, a consolidated debt coverage ratio (consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) not to exceed 5.00-to-1.00. If we consummate one or more acquisitions for an aggregate net consideration of at least $50.0 million, the maximum consolidated debt coverage ratio will increase to 5.50-to-1.00 for two rolling periods . The requirement not to exceed a maximum consolidated debt coverage ratio may limit the amount we can borrow under the Revolving Credit Agreement to an amount less than the total amount available for borrowing. As of September 30, 2015 , our consolidated debt coverage ratio was 4.4 x, and we had $561.0 million available for borrowing. Gulf Opportunity Zone Revenue Bonds In 2008, 2010 and 2011, the Parish of St. James, Louisiana issued, pursuant to the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005, tax-exempt revenue bonds (the GoZone Bonds) associated with our St. James, Louisiana terminal expansions. The GoZone Bonds bear interest based on a weekly tax-exempt bond market interest rate, and interest is paid monthly. The weighted-average interest rate was 0.1% as of September 30, 2015 . Following the issuance, the proceeds were deposited with a trustee and are disbursed to us upon our request for reimbursement of expenditures related to our St. James terminal expansion. We include the amount remaining in trust in “Other long-term assets, net,” and we include the amount of bonds issued in “Long-term debt” on the consolidated balance sheets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we received $13.6 million from the trustee. As of September 30, 2015 , the amount remaining in trust totaled $57.9 million . Receivables Financing Agreement On June 15, 2015, NuStar Energy L.P. and NuStar Finance LLC (NuStar Finance), a newly formed special purpose entity and wholly owned subsidiary of NuStar Logistics, entered into a $125.0 million receivables financing agreement with third-party lenders (the Receivables Financing Agreement) and agreements with certain of NuStar Energy’s wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively with the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Securitization Program). Under the Securitization Program, certain of NuStar Energy’s wholly owned subsidiaries, NuStar Logistics, NuPOP, NuStar Energy Services, Inc. and NuStar Supply & Trading LLC (collectively, the Originators), sell their accounts receivable to NuStar Finance on an ongoing basis, and NuStar Finance provides the newly acquired accounts receivable as collateral for its revolving borrowings under the Receivables Financing Agreement. The maximum amount available for borrowing by NuStar Finance under the Receivables Financing Agreement is $125.0 million, with an option for NuStar Finance to request an increase of up to $75.0 million from the lenders (for aggregate total borrowings not to exceed $200.0 million). The amount available for borrowing is based on the availability of eligible receivables and other customary factors and conditions. The Securitization Program contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and default, indemnification and termination provisions, and the Receivables Financing Agreement provides for acceleration of amounts owed upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Borrowings by NuStar Finance under the Receivables Financing Agreement bear interest at either the applicable commercial paper rate or the applicable bank rate, each as defined under the Receivables Financing Agreement. The Securitization Program has an initial termination date of June 15, 2018, with the option to renew for additional 364-day periods thereafter. As of September 30, 2015 , $98.9 million of our accounts receivable are included in the Securitization Program. The amount of borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Financing Agreement totaled $56.9 million as of September 30, 2015 , which is included in “Long-term debt” on the consolidated balance sheet. NuStar Finance’s sole business consists of purchasing such receivables and providing them as collateral under the Securitization Program. NuStar Finance is a separate legal entity and the assets of NuStar Finance, including these accounts receivable, are not available to satisfy the claims of creditors of NuStar Energy, the Originators or their affiliates. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contingencies We have contingent liabilities resulting from various litigation, claims and commitments. We record accruals for loss contingencies when losses are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Legal fees associated with defending the Partnership in legal matters are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2015 , we have accrued $4.2 million for contingent losses. The amount that will ultimately be paid may differ from the recorded accruals, and the timing of such payments is uncertain. In addition, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS We segregate the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists. We consider counterparty credit risk and our own credit risk in the determination of all estimated fair values. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: September 30, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Thousands of Dollars) Assets: Other current assets: Product imbalances $ 462 $ — $ — $ 462 Commodity derivatives 7,927 1,181 — 9,108 Other long-term assets, net: Interest rate swaps — 2,925 — 2,925 Total $ 8,389 $ 4,106 $ — $ 12,495 Liabilities: Accrued liabilities: Product imbalances $ (1,592 ) $ — $ — $ (1,592 ) Commodity derivatives — (1,041 ) — (1,041 ) Other long-term liabilities: Guarantee liability — — (1,286 ) (1,286 ) Interest rate swaps — (929 ) — (929 ) Total $ (1,592 ) $ (1,970 ) $ (1,286 ) $ (4,848 ) December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Thousands of Dollars) Assets: Other current assets: Product imbalances $ 117 $ — $ — $ 117 Commodity derivatives 11,009 5,353 — 16,362 Total $ 11,126 $ 5,353 $ — $ 16,479 Liabilities: Accrued liabilities: Product imbalances $ (1,388 ) $ — $ — $ (1,388 ) Commodity derivatives — (4,623 ) — (4,623 ) Other long-term liabilities: Guarantee liability — — (580 ) (580 ) Total $ (1,388 ) $ (4,623 ) $ (580 ) $ (6,591 ) Product Imbalances. We value our assets and liabilities related to product imbalances using quoted market prices in active markets as of the reporting date. Therefore, we include these product imbalances in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Interest Rate Swaps. We estimate the fair value of our forward-starting interest rate swaps using discounted cash flows, which use observable inputs such as time to maturity and market interest rates. Therefore, we include these interest rate swaps in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Commodity Derivatives. We base the fair value of certain of our commodity derivative instruments on quoted prices on an exchange; accordingly, we include these items in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. We also have derivative instruments for which we determine fair value using industry pricing services and other observable inputs, such as quoted prices on an exchange for similar derivative instruments. Therefore, we include these derivative instruments in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7 for a discussion of our derivative instruments. Guarantees. We provide credit support, such as guarantees, letters of credit and cash collateral, as applicable, of up to $150.0 million to Axeon. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , we provided guarantees mainly for commodity purchases, lease obligations and certain utilities for Axeon with an aggregate maximum potential exposure of $55.9 million and $25.3 million , respectively, and two guarantees that do not specify a maximum amount. A majority of these guarantees have no expiration date. We estimated the fair value of guarantees we have issued on behalf of Axeon considering the probability of default by Axeon and an estimate of the amount we would be obligated to pay under the guarantees at the time of default based on the guarantees outstanding as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . Our estimate of the fair value is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the activity in our Level 3 liabilities: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 (Thousands of Dollars) Beginning balance $ 580 Adjustments to guarantee liability 706 Ending balance $ 1,286 Fair Value of Financial Instruments We recognize cash equivalents, receivables, note receivables, payables and debt in our consolidated balance sheets at their carrying amounts. The fair values of these financial instruments, except for the $190.0 million term loan to Axeon (the Axeon Term Loan) and long-term debt, approximate their carrying amounts. The estimated fair value and carrying amounts of the long-term debt and the Axeon Term Loan were as follows: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount (Thousands of Dollars) Long-term debt $ 3,073,330 $ 3,109,359 $ 2,764,242 $ 2,749,452 Axeon Term Loan $ 169,607 $ 169,941 $ 164,386 $ 169,235 We estimated the fair value of our publicly-traded senior notes based upon quoted prices in active markets; therefore, we determined that the fair value of our publicly-traded senior notes falls in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For our other debt, for which a quoted market price is not available, we estimated the fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis using current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements and determined that the fair value falls in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We estimated the fair value of the Axeon Term Loan using discounted cash flows, which use observable inputs such as time to maturity and market interest rates, and determined the fair value falls in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2015 , the carrying amount of the receivable for the Axeon Term Loan is $169.9 million , consisting of the following: (i) the outstanding principal amount from the Axeon Term Loan of $190.0 million ; (ii) plus the fair value of guarantees of $1.3 million as of September 30, 2015 ; and (iii) less equity losses from our investment in Axeon of $21.3 million incurred prior to the 2014 Asphalt Sale and after the carrying value of our equity investment in Axeon was reduced to zero . The carrying value of the Axeon Term Loan is included in “Other long-term assets, net” on the consolidated balance sheets. We review the financial information of Axeon monthly for possible credit loss indicators. Axeon failed to make a scheduled principal payment by September 30, 2015, which will increase the interest rate until Axeon makes the payment. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES | DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES We utilize various derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Our risk management policies and procedures are designed to monitor interest rates, futures and swap positions and over-the-counter positions, as well as physical commodity volumes, grades, locations and delivery schedules, to help ensure that our hedging activities address our market risks. Our risk management committee oversees our trading controls and procedures and certain aspects of commodity and trading risk management. Our risk management committee also reviews all new commodity and trading risk management strategies in accordance with our risk management policy, as approved by our board of directors. Interest Rate Risk We are a party to certain interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $450.0 million . Under the terms of the swaps, we pay a fixed rate and receive a rate based on three month USD LIBOR . We entered into these swaps in order to hedge the risk of changes in the interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate during the period from the effective date of the swap to the issuance of the forecasted debt. These swaps qualified, and we designated them, as cash flow hedges of future interest payments associated with forecasted debt issuances in 2018 and 2020. We record the effective portion of mark-to-market adjustments as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” (AOCI), and the amount in AOCI will be recognized in “Interest expense, net” as the forecasted interest payments occur or if the interest payments are probable not to occur. We had no forward-starting interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2014. Commodity Price Risk We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility of crude oil and refined product prices. In order to reduce the risk of commodity price fluctuations with respect to our crude oil and finished product inventories and related firm commitments to purchase and/or sell such inventories, we utilize commodity futures and swap contracts, which qualify and we designate as fair value hedges. Derivatives that are intended to hedge our commodity price risk, but fail to qualify as fair value or cash flow hedges, are considered economic hedges, and we record associated gains and losses in net income. The volume of commodity contracts is based on open derivative positions and represents the combined volume of our long and short open positions on an absolute basis, which totaled 6.1 million b arrels and 4.7 million barrels as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The fair values of our derivative instruments included in our consolidated balance sheets were as follows: Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Balance Sheet Location September 30, December 31, 2014 September 30, December 31, 2014 (Thousands of Dollars) Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments: Commodity contracts Other current assets $ 1,262 $ 5,609 $ (261 ) $ — Interest rate swaps - cash flow hedges Other long-term assets, net 2,925 — — — Interest rate swaps - cash flow hedges Other long-term liabilities — — (929 ) — Total 4,187 5,609 (1,190 ) — Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments: Commodity contracts Other current assets 15,922 38,704 (7,815 ) (27,951 ) Commodity contracts Accrued liabilities 4,272 13,081 (5,313 ) (17,704 ) Total 20,194 51,785 (13,128 ) (45,655 ) Total Derivatives $ 24,381 $ 57,394 $ (14,318 ) $ (45,655 ) Certain of our derivative instruments are eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheets and subject to master netting arrangements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION Our reportable business segments consist of pipeline, storage and fuels marketing. Our segments represent strategic business units that offer different services and products. We evaluate the performance of each segment based on its respective operating income, before general and administrative expenses and certain non-segmental depreciation and amortization expense. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to the operating segments since those expenses relate primarily to the overall management at the entity level. Our principal operations include the transportation of petroleum products and anhydrous ammonia, the terminalling and storage of petroleum products and the marketing of petroleum products. Intersegment revenues result from storage agreements with wholly owned subsidiaries of NuStar Energy at lease rates consistent with rates charged to third parties for storage. Results of operations for the reportable segments were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 (Thousands of Dollars) Revenues: Pipeline $ 131,395 $ 125,461 $ 378,030 $ 346,218 Storage: Third parties 155,475 137,771 450,372 400,421 Intersegment 6,628 6,174 19,707 20,147 Related party — — — 929 Total storage 162,103 143,945 470,079 421,497 Fuels Marketing 206,696 531,190 790,719 1,645,812 Consolidation and intersegment eliminations (6,628 ) (6,174 ) (19,707 ) (20,147 ) Total revenues $ 493,566 $ 794,422 $ 1,619,121 $ 2,393,380 Operating income: Pipeline $ 68,536 $ 65,652 $ 201,996 $ 178,878 Storage 59,986 49,401 161,715 141,415 Fuels marketing (1,819 ) 7,518 10,756 21,897 Consolidation and intersegment eliminations (1 ) (25 ) 41 (35 ) Total segment operating income 126,702 122,546 374,508 342,155 General and administrative expenses 23,679 24,967 75,425 68,986 Other depreciation and amortization expense 2,029 2,481 6,403 7,614 Total operating income $ 100,994 $ 95,098 $ 292,680 $ 265,555 Total assets by reportable segment were as follows: September 30, December 31, (Thousands of Dollars) Pipeline $ 2,029,115 $ 1,962,821 Storage 2,445,403 2,241,573 Fuels marketing 156,434 227,642 Total segment assets 4,630,952 4,432,036 Other partnership assets 504,179 486,760 Total consolidated assets $ 5,135,131 $ 4,918,796 |
